Predatory animals in a montane ecosystem are thematized in Cougar Cash, a June 2016 video slot from developer Ainsworth whose games Desert Hawk (January 2022), Winning Wolf (May 2012), and Run with the Wolves (July 2018) are relatable.

In the regular games, three symbols (cougar, cubs, and fox) pay X0.10 to X50 for two to five-of-a-kind wins; and ten symbols (“cougar cash”, eagle, doe, mountain range, A, K, Q, J, 10, and 9) require three to five-of-a-kind whose range of X0.25 to X100 payouts is similar to the free games whose all symbols (cougar is missing) require three to five combinations.

Cougar Cash Game Characteristics

Generally, Cougar Cash has: repopulating “wild” cougars, rightward combinations in the 20 fixed winning ways, three win multipliers, thirteen symbols, eleven total bets, and (extra) free games.

A stone-strewn mountain lake overlooking the pine-covered—apparently—Rocky Mountains is in the background of the Cougar Cash’s 5X3 grid. The frosty grid has a fissured and woody frame, containing espresso wooden reels amid see-through partitions.
